Just came back from morning watch and OMG. I saw her up close.
I could not see her or hear her but I saw both adults on the new apartment building so I walked around the back . No sign of her and there were workers on the heart building.
then I went back and went in behind where she had been on Monday night. I could not see her but could hear her and I thought it was coming from another roof. I was asking a group of people on their coffee break about the roof systems etc. and I thought she was back there.
Well he offered to take me up on a different roof of the nest building (I midi not know there were several levels. (one at the back). I know you are saying get on with it BEv. ;D ;D
then he said well, lets us go up to the roof ledge where she has been. He said if we walk around the back we won,t disturb anything. And I thought she was on another building.
Well guys, he opened the door and there she was looking at us.Sorry no pictures as she was right thee and I did not want to spook her so we closed the door.
She is absolutely gorgeous. Think of the nicest one you have seen and then think better. I would have loved to get a shot for you but why risk it. We went down and out =side and I looked up and and an adult flew in and out and on the heart building roof.
I did not see if there s a food delivery. then another falcon came in and went down on the roof and Cassie was cacking. It was mom and she came back on the ledge with a piece of prey in her talons and flew off with it to her building on the shady side. (thief :) :))
So she is still there . I have to clean some house and then I am of again.
what a beauty.

Mom is back on the nest box again...8:59 am, she is looking down but forward as if she's looking at that other ledge that is below them and..she's off again.

this works out good with people from different parts watching the cam as I can see hwat has happened before I get up :)
I am off to work out an dmake my lasagna for company coming in .
I will go down around 10:30 Alberta time. that way when she starts cacking I can hear her. If I cannot be there bright and early, I find if I go from 10:30 to 12:30 and then again around 3:30 -7:30 I can hear her.
I would like to stay all day like on the weekend but I have things to do for company coming.
I am always afraid I ma going to miss something but ... I do what I can.
See you later and if you see mom on the box please post as it gives me an idea where to start looking.
So far it looks as if they are using the roof as home base. I know they will start to wander further away soon.
I did not take pictures last night as there was not much happening but she is growing up. :-*

8:23 am EST and mom just arrived at the nest box. She's outside preening and looking gorgeous. Oh she's looking right at me now :P And she's off.. ??? that was quick..lol!
bev.:
I can sleep now also. :) :) I would not have been able to leave if I could not find her. I will continue to go down twice a day for the nest while until i see her soaring. My company will have to come with me. Saturday is the only day I will only be able to go once. I might convince my friend to go down again.
Sorry pictures are so long coming. Snag in downloading.
